| - So.... I was grabbing a free sandwich at Capriottis, but I was in the mood for chicken fingers and fries.... good ones. Verdi was right next door. So I walked in. I looked through the menu and noticed that their fingers were $9 for five fingers, not including fries.... which is a good bit more than anywhere else, especially without fries. The hostess let me know that you cannot sit inside and eat there unless you purchase a minimum of $10 per person.... which in and of itself was ridiculous. Who puts a minimum order for dine-in? Apparently only this place. I also noticed that the dine-in menu had a 10" cheese pizza for $9, but the same pizza was $6 to go. The lady said, "They're good, they are all white meat." I don't know any place that isn't all white meat.... I walked out.....
But it wasn't over. I sat in my car for a moment and decided that while I was there, I may as well get their fingers because now driving someplace else would be a waste of time and gas. So I went back in.... hoping the fingers were good. I told the lady, in a joking manner that I decided to give them a try and that the fingers better be good! She told me that the two people in their dining room (there were only two) are regulars and have the chicken fingers and garlic fries. So I decided to give it a shot. $9 for fingers. $3.50 for garlic fries. And $6 for a to-go pizza for a friend.
While I went to chat with the two regulars to see what the food was like, my friend heard the hostess say with an attitude, "God, they're just fingers and fries." Yeah. They are. Fingers and fries you want me to pay $12.50 for. So no... they're not just fingers and fries when you charge more than anybody in the city for them.
She also was caught saying, "Well they're better than McDonald's." I would freaking hope so!!!! You're kidding me right now!!!
She gives me the receipt to sign. And places an "x" next to the tip line and total line. If they think they're getting tips when they are forcing you to take it to go, they have another thing coming.
So we get the food and eat outside since we ordered the pizza off the to go menu.... so it was $6 instead of $9... making it impossible for us to dine in. Even though I spent $20 for 2 people. If we had wanted to, the pizza would immediately be $3 more, just to sit in their restaurant.
The fingers. There were five. Two of them were tiny wanna-be fingers. One was a little bigger, and only two were good sized. And while they tasted decently, they are identical to other fingers elsewhere (Metro Pizza, Winchell's) that charge much less, and serve them with fries AND veggies instead of having to buy an order of fries on the side. (Metro pizza is $10 after tax for the same fingers, fries, veggies, and extra ranch... and Winchell's is $7.99 for the chicken fingers--six of them--with veggies--and $1 extra for AMAZING fries). They didn't warrant me to pay $9 for them. The fries... that they call garlic fries. Were a butt ton of those fries with the terrible, crispy orange seasoning on them (like curly fries) that make the texture terrible... with maybe a small sprinkle of garlic on them. MAYBE one clove over an entire to-go box stuffed with fries. Hardly garlic fries. Not great. If you are going to call something garlic fries, EVERY FRY should have a garlic taste. Not ten fries out of a hundred. They should be tossed with olive oil, and covered in roasted garlic...
The pizza was eh. The sauce was not evenly distributed, and my friend said that only one piece was actually good.
So.... because of the ridiculousness of this place.... I won't be going back. If you want to completely over-pay for food that is not as bad as McDonald's, but not much better.... this is where you want to eat.
